I have felt in my own teachers classes the need of 
a manual of school^law which should follow closely 
the training syllabus, giving all that is required and 
no more than is required. This manual is made up 
from my ow^n notes prepared for that purpose.

In New York State a license to teach may be annulled 
upon proof that the teacher is lacking in moral char- 
acter, learning, ability to teach, or has failed to attend 
the institute, or to keep an engagement to teach. 

The State superintendent can annul a teacher's 
certificate for any of the above causes; the school 
commissioner can annul a teacher's certificate only for 
immoral conduct. 

Conditions on which an annulment may be made 
because of the lack of moral conduct: (a) the charges 
must be specific; (h) only present offences considered; 
(c) the offence must be serious; (d) the teacher must 
have notice. 

The teacher's final defence is an appeal to the State 
superintendent, whose decision is final. 

Teacher may be discharged by trustee for immorality, 
incapacity to teach, or neglect of duty. 

III. Teacher's Contract.

teach; (c) no relation to trustee, unless trustee is 
authorized to hire such teacher by a two-thirds vote of 
legal voters in district, or unless the teacher is hired 
by board of education, one of whose members is related 
to teacher. 

A trustee making a contract with a teacher who has 
not the proper prerequisites is personally liable for the 
salary of said teacher; the district is not liable. 



24 TEACHERS 

Conditions. — Contract (called memorandum of hiring) 
must be written and signed by officer or officers em- 
ploying teacher and by teacher and delivered to 
teacher. A duplicate copy is retained by contracting 
officer or officers. The contract must contain: (a) 
length of term of employment; (6) the amount of 
compensation; (c) the time or times when such com- 
pensation shall be due. The pay of any such teacher

tees may make rules and regulations relative to the 
discipline of the schools under their charge; prescribe 
the studies to be taught; grade and classify the schools;

and superintendence of said schools. Teachers have 
the exclusive control of the methods of imparting in- 
struction; of the assignment of seats to pupils; of 
regulating the order in which classes shall recite; of 
conducting recitations and examinations. 

IV. EXTEi^T OF AUTHORITY OF TEACHERS. 

The teacher derives his authority from the trustee 
who hires him. 

The authority of the teacher in the schoolroom and 
on the school-ground is absolute. Any person who 
shall disturb any district school may be arrested on 
complaint of trustee or teacher. 

The teacher has no authority over the action of a 



AUTHOBITy 25 

pupil on his way to and from school. The detention 
of pupils after school hours is not legal; but this 
practice has been usually sanctioned by trustees and 

parents. 

Punishments must be inflicted upon the school 

premises. 

V. Corporal punishment. 

Teachers have a legal right to inflict corporal punish- 
ment unless such punishment has been forbidden by 
statute or by an act of the trustees. The teacher has 
the same right to punish a pupil that a parent has.

The teacher may suspend; the trustees may expel. 
It is a duty of the teacher when he suspends a pupil 
to notify the trustees at his first opportunity of such 
suspension. It is a duty of the trustees to limit the 
time of suspension. 

Causes of suspension are : (a) immorality of pupil ;

STANDARD TEACHERS- LIBRARY. Xo-^. ID. .?(>, 21. 31. 32, 45, 47, 36, etc. 

The New York Uniform Qnestion Books. 

New York requires that )io public school teacher shall he licensed except 
after passing one of the regular stated examinations upon the questions pre- 
pared by the State Department at Albany, and sent out from there, being 
UNIFORM /or the entire State. 

Never before were questions subjected to such previous tests a,s these. 
New York has a State Examining Board, made up of the Institute Instruc- 
tors, the Inspectors of Teachers' Classes, and the Examinations Clerk. 
These are all high-salaried men — the best the State is able to find at $2,500 
to $4,000 a year. The subjects are divided up among these men, and each 
prepares on his own topic the best set of questions he can make. Then the 
sets of questions are discussed by the entire board, every possible criticism 
of the individual questions and of the set of questions as a whole being sug- 
gested and discussed in open meeting. Finally the questions thus amended 
and approved are submitted to the State Superintendent for his inspection. 

They may reasonably be called Standard Questions for the Examination 
of Teachers ; and they have a special advantage in that they are graded. 

Ours are the only complete editions of these Questions with Answers, 
and are as follows : 

1. The Neto York Question Boole, with all the Questions of the Uniform, 
State, Cornell University Scholarship, and Normal School Entrance Exam-

The immense sale of the Regents' Questions ivith answers in Arithme- 
tic, Geography, Grammar, and Spelling has led to frequent inquiry for like 
questions in the Advanced Examinations. As it is not permitted to print 
anstvers to these, we have had prepared this series. Frequently a 11.50 book 
is bought for the sake of a few questions in a single study, Here the studies 
may be taken up one at a time, a sjoecial advantage in Nev) York, since ap- 
plicants for State and Uniform certificates may piresent themselves for ex- 
amination in only part of the subjects, and receive partial certificates. The 
same plan is very generally pursued elsewhere. These books are not in any 
sense of the word treatises on these subjects, but they are suggestive and 
stimulating.
